Sestak Reports Raising $3.25M in 3rd Quarter

By Steve Peoples | October 15, 2010 5:18 PM


Pennsylvania Senate hopeful Rep. Joe Sestak (D) raised $3.25 million in the third quarter and reported $2.66 million in the bank as of Sept. 30, according to the final fundraising figures to be released before Election Day.

The updated numbers, disclosed Friday afternoon, give the Democrat a slight cash advantage over his Republican opponent, former Rep. Pat Toomey, who had $2.3 million on hand after raising $3.8 million in the last quarter.

The Pennsylvania contest has also drawn millions in outside spending, most benefiting Toomey.

"The bottom line is that this is an election not an auction and Congressman Toomey is out of touch with Pennsylvania," said Sestak spokesman Jonathon Dworkin. "We are confident that we will have the resources necessary to get our message out and that on Nov. 2 voters will understand that Joe is the only one in the race that will fight for Pennsylvania."

6. I thought the headline was funny, too.

I look forward to the day when it is true that a person running
for public office has only raised $3.25 instead of $17 brazillion
dollars.
